Shrimp Creole

This is a Paula Deen Recipe. It’s very easy and the crockpot does most of the work. My family really liked it. As for myself I thought it needed a little more wow, but that is the Cajun blood coming out in me. You could probably add a little fire with a little cayenne pepper or Tabasco.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced green bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced celery

  • 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 lb peeled and deveined shrimp
  • green onions for garnish
